Comments

Compare with A000984(n) = [x^n] (1 + x)^(2*n) = (2*n)!/n!^2.

The central binomial coefficients A000984(n) satisfy the supercongruences u(n*p^k) == u(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^(3*k)) for all primes p >= 5 and positive integers n and k.

More generally, for positive integers r and s, the sequence {u(r,s; n) : n >= 0} defined by u(r,s; n) = [x^(s*n)] (1 + x)^(r*n) = binomial(r*n, s*n) satisfies the same supercongruences (Meštrović, Section 6, equation 39).

Conjecture: for positive integers r and s, the sequence {v(r,s; n) : n >= 0} defined by v(r,s; n) = [x^(s*n)] A(x)^(r*n) also satisfies the same supercongruences.

Formula

O.g.f.: A(x) = ( x/(x * series_reversion(E(x)))^(1/24), where E(x) = exp(Sum_{n >= 1} (4*n)!/n!^4 *x^n/n) is the o.g.f. of A333042.
